The input level of your item does not affect the imbued item. Superior, damaged items will make no difference. Notes : the item that you give to Charsi for imbuing is used only to determine the item-type and the ethereal flag. Tip : any player, with level 8 or more, in party when the Horadric Malus is given back to Charsi will recieve the quest reward. Reward : Charsi will create a new rare item from a given base item. If you can retrieve it for her, she will use its magic to strengthen one of your items with magical powers. When Charsi fled the Monastery she left behind her Horadric Malus, an enchanted smithing hammer. I specifically like to imbue javellines from time to time as you won't need them for runewords and they can have relatively nice rolls.Section 1 : Basic informations on the Imbuing quest Sometimes I waste it on wirts leg just for the memes and there is also way of obtaining low level duel items this way, but I don't have a good memory around imbuing rules to avoid bricking the item's lvl req. I would always aim to imbue high level circlet or whatever is the elite version. Especially fringe items like the eth war pike which barely anyone picks up and barely anyone wants, you can ask for a high price if a situation comes up (at some point I will be willing to buy ETH WP BOTD). Even less popular elite bases can be worth something if they roll ED (I did farm a long time back in 2012 to get a nice ward shield base for phoenix runeword that I wanted to playtest). Finding one of the eth elite weapons with 15% ED can fetch a nice price. However, base items are always good to keep an eye out, especially if they have superior quality.

Of course short term gain might be more desirable when racing, playing hard core or just having a relaxed playthrough. Monarch shield generally is the safe bet for easy value return as it's quite versatile item and I would generally not push to use larzuk on spirit weapon or insight, unless I know I have surplus of socket quest reward on my characters.
